The main purpose of this paper is to develop a new bone plate implant design with middle bending. The bone plate design is carried out using CAD software and then tested using FEA, where output data are combined and analyzed. The simulation outcome f...
The aim of this monocentric, retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the status of osseous union in uni- and poly-segmental mandible reconstructions regarding conventional angle-stable manually bent osteosynthesis plates (Unilock 2.0 mm) versus...
Proper fixation techniques are crucial in orthopedic surgery for the treatment of various medical conditions. Fractures of the distal humerus can occur due to either high-energy trauma with skin rupture or low-energy trauma in osteoporotic bone. The...

The purpose of this article was to describe the workflow from imaging, via virtual design, to manufacturing of patient-specific titanium reconstruction plates, cutting guide and mesh, and its utility in connection with surgical treatment of acquired...
The number of overweight and obese patients in developed countries is gradually increasing. It was reported that 1287 (64%) out of 2007 adults operated on in 2017 had a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 kg/m2, and 26.4% even greater than 30, whil...
Background: Mandibular defects caused by trauma or tumor resection pose significant challenges in both functional and aesthetic reconstruction. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies offer promising solutions for surgical planning and personalized...
